Note: per Findagrave.com memorial:

Rose "Rosie" Lee "Pearl" Reed was the daughter of the famous outlaw, Myra Maybelle Shirley aka "Belle Starr" and her first husband, James "Jim" Reed, also an outlaw.

She was married four times and had 4 children: (1) Charles Kaigler, one daughter Ruth D. Kaigler; (2) Robert McClure, one daughter: Mamie McClure who was adopted by Mr. & Mrs. David Epple of Newton, Kansas; they named her Flossie Pearl Epple; (3) Count Arthur E. Erbach, one son E. Erback who died as an infant and is buried at Oak Cemetery, Fort Smith, AR; (4) Dell Andrews, one daughter Jenette Steele Andrews Vignolo Scott.

"Pearl" had one brother: James Edwin "Eddie" Reed [name is in dispute, some sources say his name was Edwin Benton Reed]. She had lived at Younger's Bend in Oklahoma with her brother Eddie; when Eddie went to prison, she earned her living by being a prostitute in brothels in Fort Smith and Van Buren, Arkansas. Eddie spurned Pearl when he learned she had worked as a prostitute to earn money for his release from prison.

She worked and lived at Miss Laura's Social Club and Restaurant in Ft. Smith. Her name is over a door upstairs. Later, she took over from Miss Laura in the 1920's until the 1930's.

Pearl had her mother, Belle Starr's tombstone engraved with the name of her mother's favorite mare "Venus" and had written a 4-line poem that says: "Shed not for the bitter tear, nor give the heart to vain regret, Tis but a casket that lies here, the gem that filled it sparkles yet."
